Cassadee Pope released her latest single “What The Stars See;” her newest project since her sophomore album stages. Directed by Ed Pryor, the video depicts the ’80s, retro-but-contemporary style set to the pop-punk, and country-infused song. The video also enlists good friends Karen Fairchild and Lindsay Ell who are also both featured in the song.
Pope expressed to PEOPLE, “I knew I wanted it to be a little bit more obscure. As far as the storyline, I didn’t want to be on the nose. I had some directors send the treatments for what they thought would fit the song, and I gave them some focus words like sexy, badass, obscure, and I got a lot of treatments, but Ed sent my favorite. When he said Blade Runner, I was immediately intrigued.”
Penned by Pope, Jake Rose, and Lindsey Rimes, the song marked the country singer + songwriter’s first virtual co-write due to COVID-19. She also recruited help from past touring mate Nick Wheeler.
Pope also told PEOPLE, “I wanted to use Nick Wheeler to produce the song because he’s a rock guy, but I also wanted somebody like Karen to be involved to cater to my country-side and not forget that and not lose sight of that. I loved bringing both worlds together.”
